Modern society often refers to religion as an element of culture. Among parishioners of churches, there are more and more young people who believe that it is fashionable to be a believer. Concepts such as fasting, baptism have already become some indicators of advancement and involvement in a particular subculture. However, few people remember and know by heart prayers or sacred commandments. Every day, people sin by succumbing to bad thoughts or intentions. It is generally accepted that all bad deeds can be prayed for in the future, but this is another misconception. The evil done to yourself and others will forever remain with you. One can only truly repent of him.
Instruction manual
1
If you decide to repent of your sins, it is better to turn to the priest for help. People who often go to church often have their own confessor, but if you are not a regular parishioner, you can choose a priest yourself. First of all, pay attention to how the confession goes. Sometimes it is carried out in a stream. That is, a person simply lists his sins, and the priest forgives them all. Such a course of events is unlikely to suit you, so it is better to choose a confessor who will have time to talk with you or give advice.
2
Do not hide anything. You came to clear yourself of guilt, so you need to tell everything, no matter how painful and scary it was.
3
Most likely, the priest will give you a series of instructions that must be strictly observed. It can be fasting, ordering a prayer service or daily prayer reading.
note
Only good deed can atone for a bad deed. It can be very small, but it will favorably affect your well-being and perception. Remember, you can not be zealous in prayers, but every day you need to work on yourself and your thoughts in order to avoid repeating mistakes in the future.
Useful advice
Do not try to buy absolution. The most important thing in confession is recognition of guilt and forgiveness.
It is believed that if you tell your priest about your sin, then repentance should come, but this will only work if you really repent. Therefore, before embarking on prayers, it is necessary first of all to realize the gravity of your sin and want to atone for it.
